For the last year of so, I have been casually beginning a collection of Baseball, Hockey &, more recently, Football Hall of Fame Game Used cards.

I'm not a basketball fan at all, so collecting HOF GU from that sport has never interested me. As for baseball, a HOF collection is right up my alley, since I couldn't name 1/4 of the players in the All-Star game. I'm definitely "old school".

Since joining TCC in February, I've gotten a little more agressive, thanks to trades & Group breaks. I also enjoy ebay "low-balling".

I'm relatively early in my collecting, so I've (for the most part) concentrated on lower-end cards. When it come to "Game Used", I'm not picky. Jerseys, bats, sticks, boards, shoes, jockstraps...all qualify. The goal is one per player, although on occasion, I may get more than one, particularly if I like the look of it (or if they are a great deal!)

I've posted some of my additions under the "Mail day" forum, but after looking around the site, as well as seeing some of the questions & comments, I've decided to show the collection in this thread.

There is a running total in my signature.

As always, comments, questions & smart-aleck remarks are always welcome!

I'll start out with a couple of new additions:

From the most recent Hockey Hall of Fame class ( a 99 cent ebay pick up):

Luc Robitaille (unnumbered)

Wayne Gretzky jersey. This was a pack pull from one of the earliest Be A Player issues. Jersey cards were so rare at the time, it had a BV of $450. It's still at $200.

As you can see, I got suckered into using SCD Authentic for grading! Spent a lot of $ on what has turned out to be an overpriced protection system!

Brian Leetch & Eric Lindros dual jersey. I know that Lindros is thought to be a long-shot, but the hockey HOF seems to induct anyone who was at least somewhat famous.
